About Coastal Stays Australia Pty Ltd |
|
Formed in 2005 by Ian MacKay and Caroline Clarke, Coastal Stays Australia Pty Ltd is a rapidly expanding Coastal Accommodation website committed to offering the best possible exposure at the cheapest possible rate. We do not charge commissions and when you advertise your business it appears on up to four Coastal Stays Network sites.
Ian MacKay has more than 30 years in the Tourism Marketing and Publishing industry. His business Coastal Advertising is well-known throughout Victoria and New South Wales for delivering high quality and informative printed town and regional maps and brochures. Ian started Coastal Stays with the vision of bringing this tourism knowledge and expertise into the internet realm to make it more accessible to a wider audience.
Caroline Clarke has more than 10 years experience in the Web Design and Development industry and is the nuts and bolts behind the Coastal Stays network of websites. |

The Coastal Stays network of websites offer a unique marketplace proposition - not only presenting website visitors with quick access to listings for Accommodation, Food and Wine, Activities and Attractions - but also with key information about the town which they are visiting. This information (depending on area) may include interactive Town and Regional Maps, local history, interesting facts, photo gallery, and destinations for traveling on.
In this way, the Coastal Stays network serves as a one-stop guide for tourists through all stages of their holiday planning - from researching where to go and what to do, right through to making contact with Accommodation and Activities providers. Please browse our sites and experience your town through the eyes of a visitor - you may even learn something new about your own region!
All of our sites have been optimised to rank highly in the major search engines for key search terms. We employ an ongoing optimisation and analysis strategy to ensure our sites continue to be well-placed. Statistical reports for our sites or for individual listings can be made available on request. |
